Learn More About Jess

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Providing the peace and mind to the cat parents. I know I've always struggled to leave my cats so knowing I can give that relief to someone else is invaluable. And spending time with the kitties is a huge bonus of course!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite is with a client who has 5 cats and makes me feel less like a crazy cat lady and more like a slightly unhinged one 😂 I was able to win all 5 of them over my first day visiting them (even the shy ones that don't come out for strangers!) and ever since, I actually look forward to seeing them and playing with them so much.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have 4 - Jemma, Moose, Casper, and Frodo. They are all best friends!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Find someone who you can trust to give your cats the same care you would give them - if your cat seems to warm up during the meet & greet, it's a sign they can be trusted - cats always know!

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I always make sure doors are closed before walking into ensure no one can escape. I never open windows and ensure all doors are locked when I leave.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I try to stay home during the holidays so I can accommodate my clients travel needs :) I rarely travel for holidays.

What is your favorite cat toy?

The Cat dancer! 100% approved by every cat I've tried it with! They have so much fun with them.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I approach them slowly and carefully, never forcing myself on them. I try to win them over with treats and soft words.

Jess is the best, and my elderly kitty loves her. I wouldn't feel comfortable going away otherwise.

Jess is amazing and truly outstanding! My cat adored her. Jess spent lots of quality play time with my cat and sent me videos every day. Jess is very responsible, prompt, reliable, neat, is an excellent communicator, and is a true cat whisperer! My cat can't wait to see her again!

Jess has sat for us many times now and always does a fantastic job! She definitely put our minds at ease while we were on an international vacation and away from them for longer than we've ever been. It also helps that our cat absolutely loves her!

We just finished our second booking with Jess and once again, she went above and beyond in all ways. I truly cannot picture a better cat sitter. She shows such love for our 5 cats and even our normally shy cats absolutely love her. She also sends the best video and picture updates which make being away from our cats easier knowing they are in such great hands. We will continue to use Jess for any and all future trips as she is the best of the best!

Jess was great! We kept having to change our reservation and she was able to accommodate and help us out. Even was able to get some pets on our shy boy, Frankie. I honestly think that Carol Anne was upset to see me and not Jess when I got back.

Jess went above and beyond to take care of my kitty! My sweet cat is everything to me, so it's important to find a cat lover who understands to cat-sit while I'm away. He immediately warmed to her. She replies quickly and sends great updates. I will be booking her again when I next go out of town!

This was the first time I used Meowtel, and I couldn't be happier. Jess gave lots of love and attention to my elderly cat -- brushes, petting, chin scratching... It was clear my kitty really warmed up to her, even with the meet and greet before we left town. I have been afraid to leave him the last few years, but I was totally comfortable after getting daily updates and photos and videos. We came home to a happy cat. I would highly recommend her.

This was so easy. I was anxious since none of my usual cat sitters were available. Perfect option! Jess was so easy to work with and made friends with my kits. I'm excited to have another option!

Jess was a fantastic caretaker for my elderly cat. She took the time to drop by ahead of my trip to meet me and my cat, Macy, and I felt very much at ease knowing that she would be checking in on her while I was gone. She charmed Macy, who is normally very shy, out from under the bed for belly rubs and pets, and was purring away for her each visit. Jess sent videos, pictures, and updates each time she came, and even brought the mail in! I can’t recommend Jess enough — I will definitely be hiring her for all my future trips away.

I highly recommend Jess for cat sitting! She was so kind and caring to my cats. She sent me daily updates, videos, and photos, so I could see how they were doing. She played with them and I could tell that they really enjoyed her company. I would definitely use her services again!

Jess was incredible and exceeded my expectations by a mile! This was my first time leaving my four cats and I was very nervous. She kept in touch with many pictures and videos at each and every visit and I could tell she loved and treated my cats as if they were her own. All of my cats loved her including my incredibly shy cat who I thought would hide at every visit. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter and she will be the only person I contact in the future any time I need a cat sitter.

Jess was the best possible person to come and take care of my cat the week I was on vacation! She is very flexible with her scheduling and my cat warmed up to her immediately. All week she sent pictures and videos, which brightened my day and reassured me that everything was going well at home. I will absolutely be calling Jess again the next time I go out of home, and my cat is already looking forward to it!

Jess watched our three cats while we were away for a week. She sent tons of updates with pictures and videos. The cats loved all the attention she gave! She even brought in our packages and mail when we asked if she could, which was above and beyond what we would have expected her to do. We would absolutely book her again for our next trip and would recommend her to anyone needing a reliable sitter.

Jess was awesome! my cats really loved her! I chose her because she had experience with giving cats oral medication and my cat can sometimes be fussy. she had no issues with giving him his pill! i received a lot of videos and photos from her time with my cats, even my shyest cat came out to get brushed. couldn’t be happier with the services Jess provided! I will definitely be booking with her again next time I am out of town!

Jess is absolutely AMAZING! My cat is my only “kid” and I wouldn’t leave her with just anyone. I am super picky and overprotective of her. Most importantly, Jess and my cat, Chloe, warmed up to each other immediately during our Meet and Greet. I go by mostly Chloe’s reaction, but I had a great feeling about her as well. Jess is crazy attentive to all details I told her about dealing with Chloe and where everything can be found. Chloe trained Jess very quickly! Lol Jess and I kept in contact every day and she always sent pictures and videos which greatly helped my anxiety about leaving Chloe. I basically trusted Jess with the most important little furry friend in my life. Chloe continued to live the life of a princess while I was on vacation thanks to Jess!

Frequently Asked Questions

Buffalo cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in your sitter before you leave.

Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
